    Sea how deep I am?

    Lame title but I laughed so there! Anyway I really liked this one today, it was much darker and more vibrant in real life. My camera does not do blues well so it looks more silvery-green here. Face: Olay complete, Monistat anti-chafe, MAD Light concealer and Golden Light foundation, EDMs...

    Mother of Pearl Shimmer

    I love these shadows, and they do remind me of pink mother of pearl. I didn't get a picture of this look this morning as I was running out the door so I refreshed my eyes tonight for a pix, I just love the colors too much not to share, even though my eyes are very tired looking. All shadows...

    Happywackycabinfever

    Yep, I've been in the house all week due to a very stubborn case of Strep throat. So... I got bored and fed up today and decided to play a bit. After a few trial and error sessions with yellow (not my best color) I came up with this which I really like, but wish it could be brighter. So...

    What color is this anyway?

    Heh, I love MAD's Illusion but it is so hard to describe, which is probably why I love it so much, its like mood makeup. I really liked the way this turned out, it seems to have some understated drama because of Illusion's color shift (which doesn't show up well in the pics) Face: Olay...

    Craptacular monday grab-bag

    I used to not mind Mondays so much. Today... I just wanted it over. This morning I did a grab-bag thing and came out with MAD's CatsEye and Fyrrinae's Fyre & Ice and let me tell you F&I is a nightmare to work with sometimes. My first application was too heavy so I went to clean it off with a...

    Hump day rut.

    I seem to be stuck and unable to come up with anything creative with my makeup. Plus this was much more subtle and muted than I wanted it to be. Bleh. I'd appreciate any tips or suggestions. Unfortunately I don't have a ton of time in the mornings so two or three colors is all I manage. Ho hum...

    Ireland Forever! (well, until I wash it off anyway)

    Today I tried out my new custom pigment from ArchetypeCosmetics.com Her challenge was to describe a dream pigment and she'd try to replicate it in a powder color. My description went like this: "I would love to see the "greens of Ireland" captured in a shadow color. A green that evokes the misty...

    My eyes match my bra! (now with actual bra)

    Yes, that's right! I was wearing a deep purple shirt today and didn't want to be completely matchy-matchy so I went with the colors in my bra. Its teal, and purple with black leopard spots Ok, I didn't do the spots, but you get the idea. And I love the matte eyeshadows but I'm having a...

    Any such thing to whiten eyes?

    The whites of my eyes are not so white. My eye doctor said its nothing to worry about but years of sailing in the bright sun have given me yellowed protein deposits on either side of the iris of both eyes. Anyone ever heard of anything that can clear these up, or lighten them? I know its a...

    Rhodochrosite (aka: Dang Ma, she's wearin' pank!)

    In case y'all can't tell, pink is not my favorite color but I decided to do something new and different today. Letting my inner girly-girl shine! Ran completely out of my Prep & Prime yesterday so I had to track down something to use. I finally found some Monistat Soothing Gel anti-chafing...
